Qu1cklime Instead of Cremation


 Cremation seems to make but slow prog ress, and comes indeed so violently into con- fiet with popular prejudiees and beliefs that there is little chance of it's gaining a footing ! in this country for the next fifty or hundred years. Meanwhile our cemeteries are over flowing, and some improved method of dis posing of the dead is an imperative necess1- ty. Shall be shocking anybody if I sug- gest that in all cemeteries quieklime should be used, and that strong oak cofins should be discarded in favor of light wickerwork receptacles! The idea is suggested by a cu- rious piece of information communicated to me by an official of Newgate, where, as is we'll known, all murderers are buried in quicklime. When Lipski was hanged the other day grave was dug for him, usual, within the prison walls, and space there be- ing limited, the spot selected for the purpose was that where Wainwright was buried ten or twelve years ago. On the earth being dug into only faint streak of lime was found to mark the place where the body of the noto- rious murderer of Harriet Lane was laid. Flesh, bones, clothing-everything had dis appeared, and the soil was moreover as sweet as if it had done nothing but grow butter cups and daisies. Imagine what would have been the result had ordinary grave been dug into in this fashion. What a mass of corruption would have ''breathed forth con tagion" to the world. And, be it remem- bered, the disappearance of the body was no doubt as complete at the end of three months as the end of ten years. Of Lipski himself there is now probably only a streak of lime left. What reasonable objection could there be to the adoption of quicklime as purifier of our cemeteries2 Its only effect would be to hasten the dissolution which we all know to be inevitable.

 In the books of the treasury of the United States it appears that many millions of the f'shinplastern currency still to be offer ed for redemption. The amount outstand- ing is not less than $15, ,000, ,000 Some years ago estimate was made and it was de- termined that eight millions of this had been lost or destroyed. Accordingly, in every statement of the public debt the seven millions remaining still figure as charge on the government. Of course it is in process of redemption, but from October 1, 18S6 to October 1, 1887, the figures were reduced from $6,953, ,702 only to 6,943, ,951, or $9,751. Call this $10000 out of seven mil lions and it would take seven hundred years for all the currency to come in. The Chicago Herald makes suggestion which is worth considering when it says that it would be possible, without increasing the public debt, which act is forbidden, to issue seven mill lions in postal telegraph bonds, the interest of which should carry the charge of $10,O00 required for the redemption of the postage currency. In this way the postal telegraph could obtain seven millions of capital from the treasury without trenehing on the sur plus, and the incoming fractional notes would be redeemed as fast as they were presented out of the interest saved on the seven millions of unloosed capital.
